Thinkers50 On the Radar 2016

PRESS RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 09.00 GMT on Friday 29th January 2016 NEXT GENERATION OF BUSINESS GURUS UNVEILED BY THINKERS50 LONDON –

Thinkers50, the premier ranking of global business thinkers, today announced the Thinkers50 Radar list of the 30 management thinkers most likely to shape the future of how organizations are managed and led.

The Thinkers50 Radar recognizes the talent of up-and-coming management gurus. “The Radar list is keenly anticipated,” says Thinkers50 co-founder Des Dearlove. “It is an early warning system to alert managers about the people who are doing exciting and important work. We hope to see many of them on our next Thinkers50 ranking in 2017.”

The Thinkers50 Radar list is truly cosmopolitan with thinkers drawn from Australia, Ireland, America, India, China, Taiwan, Spain, Italy, Germany, Finland and the UK. It features its first Chinese thinker – Xiabo Wu of Zhejiang University.

“The Radar list offers a smorgasbord of great business ideas – from Brian Robertson’s concept of holacracy to Erica Dhawan’s connectional intelligence,” says Thinkers50’s Stuart Crainer. “What is interesting is that ideas and thinkers are increasingly difficult to pigeon-hole into traditional categories like leadership and strategy. These thinkers are truly independent minded. They are driven by curiosity and innovation, and their work shows broad global ambition. When we started the Thinkers50 in 2001 the emphasis was on improving corporate performance and profitability. The next generation of thinkers wants to make the world a better place. We are optimistic that their ideas will indeed make a difference.”

About Thinkers50 Thinkers50 scans, ranks and shares the very best in management ideas. Its definitive global ranking of management thinkers is published every two years. The 2015 winner was Professor Michael Porter of Harvard Business School. Previous winners include Clay Christensen (2011 and 2013); CK Prahalad (2007 and 2009); and Peter Drucker (2001 and 2003).
